1Measurement precision

If a simulation system is developed to accurately reproduce AEB device operation, then the precision of accident analysis is improved, but the complexity of the simulation system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of accident analysisVSAvoidsimulation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The simulation system is divided into distinct functional modules: a data input unit for receiving virtual driving data, a radar driving logic unit for calculating relative parameters, and an autonomous emergency braking driving logic unit for determining braking operations. This segmentation allows each module to handle specific tasks independently, improving accuracy while managing complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The simulation system creates a virtual copy of the AEB device operation by receiving virtual driving data that replicates real driving conditions. The radar driving logic unit calculates relative speed, distance, and azimuth based on this virtual data, effectively copying the behavior of the actual AEB system in a controlled simulation environment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

If actual test data is integrated into the simulation, then the reliability of accident analysis is improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary calculations of relative speed, relative distance, and azimuth in the radar driving logic unit before the autonomous emergency braking driving logic unit determines the braking operation. This preliminary processing organizes the data in advance, making it easier to integrate with actual test data and improve reliability without overwhelming complexity during the critical braking decision phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The simulation system incorporates feedback loops where the autonomous emergency braking driving logic unit compares the calculated relative parameters with actual test data to determine appropriate braking operations. This feedback mechanism allows the system to learn from actual test results and improve the reliability of accident analysis while systematically managing the complexity of data integration.
